In German, numbers are spoken from left to right, as in English, but ones and tens are always swapped. So 23 becomes three, twenty, and 135 becomes one hundred, five, and thirty:

  • Achter Stock (8)
  • Achtzehnter Stock (18)
  • Achtundzwanzigster Stock (28)
  • Dreizehnter Stock (13)
  • Dreiundzwanzigster Stock (23)
  • Dritter Stock (3)
  • Einundzwanzigster Stock (21)
  • Elfter Stock (11)
  • Erdgeschoss (0)
  • Erster Stock (1)
  • ...

Oh, and the first floor is called the ground floor and is not counted.

The UK also has the off-by-one floor numbering.

Also a nursery rhyme with the line "four and twenty blackbirds"!

That is only one and ten blackbirds.

There are probably some that you can't see.
